If WE ONLY KNEW.

five knew the voice whose cadence
Falls upon our ears today,
Like soft strains of angel music
From the bright world far away,
Never more would speak unto us,
Words of love and hope and cheer,
We would prize the slightest tremor,
Every tone we would strive to hear.
If we knew the love light beaming
From the eyes whose slightest glance
Fills us with spellbound rapture
Vast as Heavens broad expanse;
Would be faded ere the morrow,
Never more to shine again;
We would linger in its sunshine,
We would weep our tears like rain.
If we knew the hands whose pressure
Thrills us with the sweetest bliss,
Meier again would gently touch us,
Meier caress us after this,
Oh, how warmly we would clasp them
Press them to our throbbing heart,
Kiss them with wild devotion,
While hot tears of grief would start.
If we knew the paths would sever,
Which now lie so close and sweet,
We would often stop and linger--
We would walk with slower feet.
If we knew the joys we're tasting,
Would be changed to bitterest woe,
We would fill life's empty goblet
With their sweetness ere they 60
"Strange we never prize the music"
Till the harp lies all unstrung;
Strange that we should slight the carols
By the sweetest songters sung;
Strange the sweetest, fairest flowers
That we've found along the way,
Watt their waves of richest perfume
From the regions Of decay.
All! too late we scent the roses
That have shed their nectared sweet,
Thick as raindrops on the pathway
We have trod with hurrying feet
Yes, too late our hearts re.echo
With throb OF keenest pain;
For the flowers that once have blossom'
Meier for us, will bloom again.

and the minister accepted. The next
Sunday he announced his subject,
Genesis, IL; and he spoke very feel
ingly and eloquently upon the beau
ties of creation for the space Of five
minutes, and then he remarked:
" But, brethren, the Lord wouldn't
have decreed it if it hadn't been
foreordained," and he went on with
the same old story. 1t is so with all
cranks. Everything leads up to their
hobby. 1t is as easy to call some one
else crank as it is to be a crank
yourself. But as the blood of the
martyrs was the seed of the church,
so the blood Of the cranks is the seed
of many of the worlds best deeds.
GREAT CRANKs.
Galileo, the father of astronomy,
was denominated a hereto, and if
the word had then existed he would
have been called a crank. Columbus
was nothing but a poor demented
crank who never knew the magni-
tude of his discovery. Martin Lu-
ther was a crank of the first water,
and is still crank among the Cath
olics. The Huguenots were given
their name in ridicule, and Meth
odists were nothing but lot of
cranks, and yet they were two of the
best lot of people of the middle ages.
1t is often the penalty of true great
ness not to be appreciated. The best
man the world ever saw was despised
and crucified, and ever since His
death the sublime beauty of His life
has been breaking forth through the
twilight.
The third standard of measure
ment is truth positive and right alb
solute. But here we are again
swamped.
What is truth? The Egyptians
worShiped the snake and the crOco-
die. The Hindoo woman goes to
heaven by casting her babe into the
waters of the Gauges, and the fierce
Mussulman purchases Paradise by
Staying everybody of an opposite be-
lief that comes in his way. In our
day a man says there is no God and
we call him an atheist; and another
says that everything is God, and we
call him pantheist. Many men
have worshiped the Goddess of Liber-
ty enshrined on the almighty dollar
in their pockets. A little good, sound,
common sense is all that | can re-
commend. But some cranks are
merely ahead Of the age, and they
can, like Moses, look into the dis
lance and see what is to come. The
man who is no crank sees things as
they are and takes them as they
come. Imagination is the foundation
of agnOsticism and all the isms, and |
would rather have one ounce of good,
sound, common sense than a pound
of imagination.

been made at Nashville in the inter-
est of the Midland subscription was
not so much a work of self-sacrifice
for the public good as it would APP
pear, but Col, Colyar and Others have
a very clear understanding with GER
tain New York parties who are large
ly interested in the success of the
East Tennessee systemthatifthe peo-
pie of Nashville and Davidson county
can be educated up to the point where
they will subscribe half million dol
lars to the proposed road, they will
profit by it in the end. The fight of
the American for the Midland few
weeks ago will not be forgotten and
it is urging liberal subscriptions to be
made and the subscribers are COM
ing forward very handsomely:
The Times has reasons to believe
that the information it has given the
public in reference to the Midland
scheme is pretty reliable; and, more
over, if the present plans are consum-
mated, it predicts that the Midland
road will be built largely with money
furnished by the present stockholders
of the East Tennessee road, and the
Midland will be nothing more nor
less than a continuation of the East
Tennessee system. 1t would be a
good thing for Nashville and Jackson,
but some of the fellows who are
bleeding and dying on the altar at
Nashville, for the success of the Mid
land, are not suffering in vain. They
have a very positive understanding
with certain Eastern parties which
will benefit them in more ways than
one. These are the present indica-
tons, else certain prominent railroad
men have been grossly deceived and
misled by the information which has
come to them from high authority.

" Cranks.'

We clip from the California Patron
the following synopsis of a lecture de-
livered by Rev. II. c. Minton, in the
First Congregational church of San
Jose, Cal. 1t will be seen that
"cranks" are not so much to be des-
pissed, after all.
Said Mr.. Minton: The crank is
everywhere and everything. He
could tell Jay Gould and Wander
bilt how to make money. He could
tell ex-secretaries Sherman and Man
ming how to run the finances of the
country. Cleveland's administration
is failure because the President did
not take his advice. Plato, Socrates
and Cicero, with all their learning,
are but bagatelles compared with
him. But the strangest part Of the
whole affair is that the crank is per-
iectly willing to bestOw his knowl-
edge everywhere and without cost.
The crank is crooked stick, we
all admit, and the question now aris-
es as to how we are to measure him.
From our own point he has very
ragged and crooked edge. From his
point of view we have an equally
ragged and crooked edge. He ques-
tons my yardstick and | question
his, and we are as much at variance
as ever. There are three standards
of measurement for crank. a
The first standard of measurement
is ones self. But right in here comes
the trouble. You may be right in
one thing and wrong somewhere else.
The country cousin is as rough and
uncouth in the city as the city man is
in the country, and so it runs. A
great deal of the agitation of the pres
ent day consists in bandying the
epithet "crank." Allopathy and
homeopathy call each other cranks,
and hydropathy calls each of the
others a crank, and is in turn
demonstrated a crank by the other
two. Eclecticism takes the best of
all the others and is a crank from
their points of view, while from its
point of view the other three are
equal cranks. Faith cure is sure that
the others are all cranks, while all
the Others vote that it is crank.
Finally the mind cure comes, calling
all the others, without stint, cranks,
and all the others agree that it is the
very acme of q crank. So where are
we to stop?
THE TEST OF NUMBERS.
The secoud standard is the major
ity, but because you happen to be on
the side of the majority is no sign
that you are right. The majority
does not always rule, for the major
ity is sometimes wrong, and the
crenk, if he happens to be in the mi,
nority, is always sure that the major
ity is wrong. They tell good story
about a minister who was always
preaching on the decree of foreordi-
nation. His congregation finally got
tired of the same old subject, and APP.
pointed committee to ask him to
change his subject. The committee
did its duty, and their pastor said
that nowhere in the Bible could he
find text that did not lead mp 10
